Atlanta should have at least 50% of the problems solved by then. Georgia State purchased Turner Field just off I-75...so MAYBE things won't be horrible. IF that's where it's gonna be played. And that's a big IF...... Rufus>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw some photos of it last week and they are moving quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolebull813 Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 They need more So GA teams in it. The games look stale every year. No surprise that the marquee game is Colquitt vs Norcross. Valdosta, Lowndes, NS WR, Tift County, Glynn Academy, Fitzgerald, Benedictine, etc need to pump some life into it and start a North GA vs South GA Kell Classic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of question marks surrounding both those teams this year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of Lowndes, Northside WR, or Griffin have ever been in the Corky Kell Kickoff Classic.. dating back to 1992 Not sure if you meant Warner Robins, who has been in it twice in the late 90s Valdosta has a couple times also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is foremost a fundraiser and as such the invited teams have a pretty hefty financial commitment that they fulfill by either selling enough tickets or funding it out of football funds. I don't remember exactly but it is something along the lines of a $30-$40K commitment. Schools are invited based both on their fundraising ability and their strength as a team although the last doesn't always hold true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But McEachern and Brookwood are a given each season, since they are the founders of the event! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, when was the last time you drove that section of road? You have no idea how traffic really is in Atlanta. You might come here a few times a year. That doesn't qualify you to be an expert on our traffic even though you might think it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be off and freely admit it. This was based on a 2,000 ticket commitment @ $20 per ticket. I think I remember our commitment was 2,000 but it could have been less.
